PROCESSING OF SAFFLOWER SEEDS TO PRODUCE VEGETABLE OIL

This paper proposes a small-size technological line for processing safflower grain in small enterprises of the oil and fat industry, which uses equipment of increased efficiency, realizing progressive processes with the use of modern physical methods of processing. The advantage of the design of the proposed equipment is that it allows simultaneous peeling and pressing of safflower grains in one apparatus, which provides a highquality and biologically valuable product.
The research was carried out to determine the particle size distribution of safflower seed particles fed for pressing, as well as the influence of the moisture content of the initial product on the degree of pressing. The graphs showed that the optimal moisture content for safflower seeds is between 8.5% and 10%. At this moisture content, the oil content in the cake is minimal, which means maximum oil yield during pressing. As a result, after final pressing, the oil content in the cake can be as low as 6%. Thus, the proposed technological line for processing safflower grain is to reduce material and energy costs in the conditions of miniproduction of oil production by pressing, increasing the convenience of operation without reducing the quality of the finished product.
